Samir out; Parvin Dabas opposite Sonali Bendre in Ekta's show
We
had earlier reported that actor Samir Soni has been finalised to play
the male lead opposite Sonali Bendre in Ekta Kapoor's next show titled
Bade Dhokhe Hai Is Raah Mein Pyaar Ke.
However, the latest
development is that actor Parvin Dabas will romance Sonali in the show.
Apparently, Samir, who is turning director with actor-producer Sanjay
Suri for a thriller, will get busy with its shoot during the last
quarter of this year. Samir had earlier featured in Ekta's Parichay " Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka.
Says a source associated with the show, "Samir hadn't signed on the
dotted line, but the deal was as good as finalised. However, he is going
to be busy with his directorial debut and hence, won't be able to allot
dates to the show. We have now finalised Parvin. The show, which has a
political backdrop, will mark Sonali's acting debut on TV."

Parvin, who had made an appearance in popular sitcom Sarabhai vs
Sarabhai, said, "I had a great time working with Balaji on Ragini Mms-2
and only Ekta could have thought of me as the loud director, Rocks. She
is one of my oldest friends in Mumbai and the great thing is we've
always managed to keep our friendship and professional relationship
separate. I always look forward to working with Balaji as they are an
amazing team. I've just finished shooting a romantic comedy Jab Tum Kaho
and I'm shooting a new film, Checkkmate, for a couple of weeks in July
in New York and another film in September in Delhi. I'm also working
towards my next directorial venture. As far as the serial goes, I cannot
say anything at this time."
